the hard way well, I'm not at the mixing point yet, but if there is no "feature" that lets you go back to older settings in the same project, maybe you could try actual screenshots. If you just want to have a shot of the faders, have them visible on the screen and hit the PrtScn key on your...

Absolutely! Especially if you were not experienced with even hardware 4-track recording before you started. Learning the terminology, and technology of recording itself (let alone computer recording) is the hard part. Beyond learning how to use the tools, and having decent equipment, its all...

say no to drugs Please don't do the Jim Morrison thing. Drugs don't make you wise and brilliant, they just make you think you are... and it takes being on drugs for a listener to think you are too. Okay, off my soapbox now. I love lyrics. In most cases, the lyrics of a song are the number...

thanks again Thanks all. Yeah, Ebay is my grocery store... when I have approval from accounts payable (a.k.a. my wife) to make a purchase. Thanks for getting me on the right track. This place rocks. Y'all rock. I was so surprised to find a forum like this, for such a seemingly specialized...

thanks Sounds like my real issue might be that I need to get a preamp/mixer. James, I saw that tweakhead link on another thread, but most of those cards were really expensive (if only I could find a bag o' money... that would be sweet). I didn't ARM the track. I might be an idiot, but I just...

I have searched the forum for threads on sound cards and most of the ones I read were reccommending cards that were at least $200 and up. My budget is a little tight right now, so I was wondering if anyone had any positive experiences with using any sound cards under $200 (preferably under $150)...

Shawn, I am in your same boat. I have this board bookmarked at home and work! This is a fear of mine. I am coming from a background of indie/punk music with a full band, but I am now going solo. Funny thing, is that my solo stuff is more dynamic than my ensemble stuff. At least, I want it...

I hope this is the right forum for this, as it seemed to be more related to sound modules than guitars. I am very interested in the Roland GR-33 guitar synthesizer. Mainly so I could be able to "play piano" through my guitar. Much easier than learning how to play piano. :) I was wondering if...

I know this dude who's wife is a studio session singer. She fills spots when the studio is recording something and the artist doesn't have someone to do that part. She got called in to sing a single phrase - two words - for a theme song on a nightly local news show. We're not even talking...

I don't have any problems with it. I don't know that there is such a thing as "not enough graphics". Graphics are good, and add to a site's overall feel, but they aren't necessary and if you overdo them it can be a bad thing. I think the style of the site seems to be appropriate for your...

Neil, I am a web designer. You can look at my work here http://www.madeofclay.com if it adds value to my advice. Thats my personal site, and I also work a day job doing web design for "the man". I'll address zekthedeadcow's points first: Don't worry about 480X640. It is hard to make...

I would rather listen to talk radio than pop music radio. There is a college radio station here that plays 85% good music, but the broadcast is so weak that you can only hear it if you are within a 10 mile radius of the college. It seems slightly possible, and hopefully so, that the internet...

In your scientific approach, you said that certain elements were eliminated because they could be duplicated by others "covering" those works. Yet, you said that no two songs were lyrically the same. If you are going to bring covers in the situation, the lyrics are eliminated before the music...

build your own cost benies Actually, I think that you CAN save quite a bit with a build your own system. What I did was ask a friend who was already producing music with Cakewalk (as a hobby, but pretty good stuff) what he used. He said he got his system from Gateway and gave me the specs. I...

audigy I have Home Studio XL (mini-Sonar). I run windows 2000, AMD 1700 cpu, 256 mb DDR ram, and I use the Audigy soundcard. I built the computer myself, from parts on Ebay and some from TigerDirect.com . I haven't had much time to play with it yet, just got Cakewalk as a Christmas present...

Anyone know of any particular brand/models of CD burner that would be able to make high quality duplications? I'm looking more for the actual "burning" kind, that makes pits on the surface to represent 1's and 0's, as opposed to the cheaper consumer models that just basically print fake shadows...

Its a combination of things. Be good. People don't want to pay cover charges and/or buy merch from crappy bands. Hard work. You have to hit the streets. Make flyers, post them at every public place where your target audience might go to look for good shows. Work the internet. A lot of...

guitar If your pal is such a clod that he won't listen to your advice, you should buy the guitar from him, and sell yours. $.02

Gotcha. Sounds like the audiobuddy would be the way to go. I keep seeing the $80 tag in my searches, maybe I can just keep an eye out on Ebay. I haven't learned how to even use Cakewalk yet, so I'll probably spend some time just getting the hang of that, and save up for the preamp. Thanks...

thanks Sorry, about the mic. I have a couple SM58's, which I would use for guitar recordings, and I have a good friend with an actual recording studio (not such a good friend that I can record for free :) ) and I can borrow fancier mic's for vocal recording. I also have a XLR-1/4" adapter, so...
